Brief Description:  Final skim coats

3 layers of West system skim coats were added after deciding that I've contoured this wing enough. West system works REALLY well as it's very thin and runny so it fill the voids and levels nicely. Now Instead of following the directions and puting down 5 thin coats I put down 3 thicker coats and now I've got orange peel. Not a HUGE deal as I'll be sanding it, but it does mean more work to get it all level again. next time I'll be going with the recommended 5 thin layers. The bottom of the rudder was done as well. The Aileron really needed a skim coat due to voids and exposed glass sp contrary to being told not to for balance reasons I added 1 layer. Man, I'd rather have a slightly heavy aileron than a delaminated one! I may add 2 more skim coats to the wing to fill the orange peel but I'm not sure yet. more later
